  • Answer:

    You cannot use a computer to access the data on a PS3 hard drive, so it cannot be cloned. What you need to do is use Safe Mode: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-General/How-to-access-Playstation-3-SAFE-MODE/td-p/5812274?start=0&tstart=0 If it still freezes and doesn't work after that, then try a new hard drive. If that doesn't work, then it's an internal hardware issue that would need to be fixed, or else get a new PS3.

You may be able to save your data by cloning your hard drive, although if it's damaged you may not be able to. You will need to take your hard drive out of the ps3 and get a secondary one to back it up on and to replace it too if needed. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00D1NR9MA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00D1NR9MA&linkCode=as2&tag=compuhealt-21 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BS55NCG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00BS55NCG&linkCode=as2&tag=compuhealt-21 Hope this helps.
